Mr.. f. B. Tillottson, the watchman
employed by the Santa Fe Company

his friends wish him luck at San

For Burdette Chandler.

Los ANGELES, December l, 1887.
EDITORS HERALD There is gen.
tleman NJ -. candidate, through tie
solicitation OF hisssrieuds, for council
man in the Fourth ward, Mr.. Bur-
dette Chandler OF Boyle Heights.
We are in transition state and all of
us are disposed to honor the men who
have d ne the. most to develop the
latent resources and hidden treasures
OF our glorous country. Mr.. Chandler
is practical man who has devoted
his life to one object-the discovery of
oil. OF this valuable product an
eminent writer has said " the finding
of gold will give feverish impulse to
a country, but when oil is struck it
means continued prosperity" Mr..
Chandler, instead of laying off town
lots, has devoted his time to bringing
up from the bowels of the
earth Illuminating and lubricating oil
in such quantities that if the effort is
prosecuted Los Angeles county will
rival Pennsylvania in this respect, and
all will share in the profits which are
sure to come.
Mr.. Chandler has no axe to grind.
He lives on Boyle Heights and loves
that portion OF the city. His work,
however, has been of such a charac-
ter that millions of dollars will be
poured into Southern California, and
he has done more for the city than
the whole outfit of real estate specu-
lators. 1t rests with the people who
have the interests of the city and
country at heart to elect Mr.. Chandler
as Councilman from the Fourth ward
next Monday.
Mr.. Chandler is on the Democratic
ticket and l am a strong, consistent
Republican, but am for him, and SO
should be every man who cares for
the interests OF this city and for the
Fourth ward.

THE MAYORS CLERK.
II. w. Patton Appointed to Fill
the Position.

the Position.
At tie last meeting OF the Council
an ordinance was passed creating the
office of Clerk to the Mayor. This
was made imperative on account Of
the amount of business which has Of
late been pouring upon Mayor Work
man. Besides the constant attention
which the affairs OF the city has re-
quired of the Mayor, there has been a
constant stream of letters pouring in
from people in the East who desire
information relative to Los Angeles,
and these it has been necessary
to answer. Added to these there
are always numbers of people who call
upon the Mayor and consume a por-
tion Of his valuable time, and it be-
came apparent that he must have an
efficient aide de camp. Sine the pass
age Of the ordinance, Mayor Workman
has been considering who to appoint,
and last night he announced that he
had been fortunate enough to secure
HI. w. Patton, who is eminently well
fitted to occupy the position. He will
announce his appointment at the next
meeting of the City Council, and there
is no doubt but it will be confirmed.

geles and Utah road come along that
way too. A prominent official of this
road said to the HERAGD's represents
tive yesterday afternoon:
"We are doing our best to make the
people give us the right-of-way, and |
think we will surely succeed. If we
don't get the particular route we
want, we Will have to take. another
and, maybe, less favorable
one, but we can say to the people
that we will surely build our road
from San Pedro to Pasadena, though
we do not say positively that we will
build the road to Salt Lake. Ii we
can secure suitable amount OF cash
and good route, we will build the
road to Salt Lake also. We have an
excellent terminal at San Pedro, one
that no other road can secure, and
we also have good one at Pasadena.
In addition to this, we have an option
on the Alta lena road and can run
our line seven miles north of Pasadena.
The difficulty we have now is in get
ting the right of way in and out of the
city. The right of way to San Pedro
is all right, that is secured. We will
cross the Los Angeles river at the
southern limits OF the city and run up
the east bank some distance, when
we will cross to the west bank and 10
cate our station if we can secure
grounds. | cannot say, exactly, when
~e will commence work, but we are
not building road with our Jaws
and the road will as surely be built as
it is that the sun Shines"

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Frank II. McGinley shot Near
Sierra Madre.

A sad accident occurred short dis
tance from the town of Sierra Madre
yesterday morning. Frank p. Nc
Ginley, who, a year ago, was nom-
mated by the Democratic Convention
to represent this district in the Assem-
bly,, and who withdrew only because
he had not resided sufficient period
in the State, met with his death while
hunting in the vicinity Of the town
mentioned. He had been acting as
foreman of body of carpenters, en-
gagged in erecting residence Tor A. L.
Vosburg, and, being fond of hunting,
it was his custom to rise early In the
morning and 90 on short expeditions
in search OF game. Yesterday morn
ing he started as usual at half past 8
O'Clock. About 6 o'clock his COM
panions. who had risen, heard
the report of gun close by, and
James Gamble looking in the direction
of the shot, was Mortified to see the
unfortunate man lying on the ground
where he had fallen when shot.
Upon reaching the spot, life was all
but extinct, and Mckinley made no
response to the questions OF his COM
raded who conveyed him to the house
where he breathed his last He had
evidently been walking homeward
from mis- hunting expedition when the
hammer of his gun struck against t
something, discharging it, the full
load of shot entering his abdomen and
ranging upward. AS soon as possible,
Coroner Meredith was mott ed of the
sad occurrence, and the body was
brought to this city.
Deceased was ABOUT 33 years OF age,
a native of Boston, and was one OF the
best mechanics on the coast. lie was
a member of several labor societies
here, and was President OF the Car
penters' Union and a member OF Dis
trict Assembly, K. of L. He came
here from Boston abo it three years
ago, and was so popular that he re-
ceived the preference OF the conven-
tion wear ago fer the Assembly,
from which, as above stated. he with
drew. He leaves an aged father and
mother dependent upon him, and is
sincerely mourned by all who came in
contact with him. The verdict of the
Coroner's jury last night was ''accl-
dental death" The funeral will take
place tomorrow afternoon from his
late residence, No. 1l3 Rose street.
The members of Carpenters, Union,
No. 56, trade unionists and X. OF l..

THE NEW FREIGHT DEPOT.
Its Doors to be Opened Monday
Nor ning.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Company's new freight depot is
rapidly approaching state of COM
pletion, and Monday morning its
doors will be thrown wide open to re-
ceive the enormous amount of freight
that is daily swelling this roads busi-
ness to size almost beyond belief.
The building will be entirely finished
by tomorrow afternoon, as all that
remains to be done now is the shin
Cling of small part of the roof at the
north end and the compile
ton of the office for the re-
ceiving and shipping clerks, which
is being partitioned off about the mid
die of the warehouse. The main Off
ces have not yet been commenced, as
the plans for their construction have
not been returned from Chicago,
where they were sent for approval.
The building will be erected some dis
tance from the north end of the ware
house, and the material used will be
brick, iron and wood. The ia
cilities for the rapid handling
of freight in the warehouse are
perfect. On the west side of the
structure there is NO platform, and the
wagons can drive close up to the
doors. which are built SO as to be on a
! level with the wagon beds.
AT each entrance pair OF standard
scales will be placed so that no time
will be lost in the weighing OF freight.
The ware-room is noninally divided
into two parts, the northern half
for the incoming freight, and
the Southern half for the outgoing. A
careful estimate made by the agent
yesterday afternoon, placed the
capacity of the building at hundred
and fifty carloads. Even though the
roof is not yet entirely finished, the
room yesterday p esented a very
business-like appearance. Fully fifty
carloads OF miscellaneous merchan-
disc were piled along the wall
in some places reaching almost
to the roof. Prior to 3 O'Clock
cars had been loaded with general
merchandise, destined for points in
this State. On the east side OF the
depot the company has double tracks
that run the entire length OF the
DIHuliiS, diu Will IlOlu dt Olc tlDle
fifty cars. Access l., gained to the
outer track by movable platforms
which are placed through the cars on
the inner track, and in this manner
two trains can be loaded at one time.
On the south end OF the platform are
situated pair of standard scales that
will weigh six tons, and here
the heavy machinery either
incoming or outgoing, will be
handled. The platform will be used
for machinery and the wareroom for
freight that can be damaged by the
rain.
The Santa Fe people certainly have
reason to congratulate themselves
upon having so quickly and so ably
repaired the loss of the late fire.
The company is receiving the de-
layed freight every day and they
hope to have every bit of in the hands

INVESTORS READ THIS.

IA week or two ago there came to
Ahaheim ten families, seeking houses
to rent, while they could buy lot and
build for themselves. There was not
one cottage even to divide with the
ten families. There is not store to
be had to open new business. There
is demand for houses and stores.
Anaheim has two amusement halls,
but she needs a fine opera house. The
citizens are contemplating the erection
Of one. Any person who will build a
house in Anaheim will rent it at a
good per centage on its cost the day it is
built. He who will put up store will
find a tenant as quickly. His money
will be invested well lor all time to
come. There is room for great ex-
pansion, the growth has begun and it
will continue.

FAIR ANAHEIM .
Home-Seekers, Read Care
fully This Column.

Anaheim is the oldest colony in
Southern California. The settlers
who, in 1857, selected this spot were
! men of experience in all the varied
affairs of life. They looked all over
the State and pitched upon Anaheim
as, in all respects, the most attractive
spot they encountered. The history
of the past thirty years, the wealth Of
the old settlers, the business done in
the town and the products OF the Sec
ton fully justify the choice made by
these prescient colonists.
Anaheim is situated about 26 miles
southeast of Los Angeles on branch
OF the S. p. Railway, which is soon tc
be developed into main line, termiA-
ating at San Diego. The town is four
teen miles from the Pacific ocean, at
small bay known as the Anaheim
Landing. There are about $500 peo-
pie in the town OF to-day, and there
are churches of all the leading de-
nominations, fine public school
about the best in the county-stores
stocked with goods Of all sorts, in
abundant supply and of the ve.y best
in the market. There is bank and a
good hotel--with second now build.
ing and third quite certain soon to
be begun. Then large and finely
equipped girls school will be erected
at a very early day. The ground has
been bought-an ample piece, three
and half acres in the very heart OF
the town-and the plans are being
drawn. The streets in Anaheim are
laid out with regularity and they are
broad and smooth, with sidewalks,
and many of them are aligned with
fine shade trees. The residences In
the town are q model Of neatness and
comfort. The gardens bloom with
rare flowers at all seasons OF the year,
and everything bears an aspect OF
thrift and prosperity, such as one
rarely encounters in any town in any
section OF the country.
For healthfulness fair Anaheim has
no rival on the coast. The town site
lies on ridge OF land, and the con-
tour slopes gently from Anaheim, fall
ing away to the east towards the
Santa Ana river, to the west towards
wide wash and southerly towards
the ocean. The soil is quite pourous
and this contour of the land and the
character OF the soil furnish q system
of natural drainage which is quite
perfect.
The climate OF Anaheim cannot be
surpassed in Southern California.
Northerly lie range OF high mount
aims and Ii miles to the south is the
sea. The air currents come from the
southwest and are always refreshing
and bracing because of their pass age
over the unmeasurable expanses OF
the Pacific ocean. Here is the place
for healthful, happy homes for all
comers in search of the very best OF
Southern California.

SPECULAT0RS READ THIS.

The above description of Anaheim
will be found true in all respects. &C
and see before you buy elsewhere
True as it is, it is only half the truth.
This town lies in the center OF an inn
mense area of the finest land on the
good green earth. This stretch Of
country extends for from IA to &c
miles around. 1t takes in the rich
North Anaheim and Placentia country
on the north. Here the new town OF
Fullerton is going up at a marvellous
pace. 1t has hotel a great many
fine residences, and these are being
added to daily. To the south lies the
richest grain, fruit and dairy district
in the State. All about vines, oranges
nuts, and all the citrus, deciduous
semitropic and other fruits grown te
perfection. There is railroad to An.
aheim, now, with trains twice each
way daily. There is another railroad
the California Central, now being
built from this point to Los Angeles
1t Will be in operation by the end ol
the year. The S. P. Company con-
templates tie construction of line
from tnelr uepOl III hudhelth tuiouSI
North Anaheim, Fullerton and Placen'
tia. A company is now organized tc
build railroad from Anaheim to An
aheim Landing, where harbor is tc
be constructed in the near future.
Anaheim is, therefore, to be the
center of very considerable system
of railroads. She will grow from this
on in population, business, wealth and
all the elements of prosperous place
Remember the boom has just begun
here. Anaheim real estate has scarce
ly risen in price beyond the figures
ruling three or four years ago. While
all around lands are selling at $500
$500 and $1,000 per acre, the pick o.
Anaheim is still to be had away below
the lowest figure above. With good
business. unrivaled soil, the best
climate in the country, the most abun
dant supply of water, crystal clear
Anaheim lands are held at less than
half the figures asked elsewhere fol
property in all respects less desirable
than this. NOW Is the time to buy
The boom is on and it will swell to a

The Harden Star Fire Extin-
guisher.

Yesterday Mr.. w. r. Maurice gave
an exhibition of the powers Of the
Harden Star Fire Extinguisher. The
test was made on Los Angeles street,
near Commercial. A big pile of dry
stuff was set on fire, and when the
conhagration was at its height Mr.,
Maurice turned en- his little stream
of chemicals and in less than half a
minute the blaze was as dead as NUT
ton. Charred lathes were found in
the debris which were burned almost
through. The test was pronounced a
complete success.
